On last Wednesday morning a fire
broke out in Bannings doggery, in Ports
mouth, and the entire building, with sew
eral other buildings, was destroyed. In
the upstairs William Deem-the solemn
looking bar-keeper who used to stay with
Himrod at this place-and Tom Murphy,
were sleepiug. Deem went to the win
dow and jumped out, but Murphy, after
looking out of the window, deliberately
walked back into the room again. Deem
earnestly begged Murphy to jump, but he
refused. He was always of a stubborn
turn, and in addition to this, was stupid
from long drunk. He was not, there
fore, in a condition to be reasoned with.
After the building burned down, the
charred remains of Murphy were raked
out of the ruins. One leg was burned off,
and his head burned out of all semblance
to humanity.
Murphy came here many years ago, and
worked about the mines. He afterward
started doggery and gambling den, keep
ing at this business for long time. From
here he went to Portsmouth, and engaged
in the same business there. He was gen.
orally stupid from drink, during the last
few years. Tom was jolly, good-heart-
ed fellow, when not too stupidity drunk to
be so. There are many men in this neigh
borhood who will feel a tinge of sadness
at Toms taking off. His death is due
solely and entirely to the liquor business.

This does seem to be the only kind of
"local option" that would be anything
near satisfactory, and the corporation
local option is only a step in that direc-
ton. AS long as the liquor curse is
crowded back, step by step, the good

Sugar Making In This Country.

The experiments conducted under the
auspices of the National Department Of
Agriculture, mt Fort Scott, Kan, in max
ing sugar from sorghum cane have been
announced complete success by Com
missioner Colman. The new process is
rapid, less costly and more efficient than
the old process. BY the latter it is esti-
mated that about one-half Of the saccharine
matter was wasted, even in the southern
sugar cane. The diffusion process, it is
claimed, saves about 05 per cent of the
saccharine matter. Experiments are
being conducted in Louisiana with making
sugar from the ribbon cane by the new
process. Commissioner Colman believes
that these experiments and their results
are as important to this country as the in
ventiOn Of the cotton gin.
The only entirely successful experiment
in beet sugar production in this country
has been at the Alvarado factory in Cali
fornia. 1t appears from recent report
that there are possibilities OF supplement-
ing the crop Of the San Joaquin valley so
as to lengthen the factory season in Cali
fornia to five months instead of three, the
length Of the season in Europe.

"Hail Columbia" is among us. He has
also published short and spicy work

before the public is his recent arrest and

the usual one of melting opposition to the

The trial excited much interest, and Mr..
Sullivan was acquitted. The older

while editing The Nation many years ago,
but was not so fortunate, as he was SEN

THE LATEST CLAIMANT.
"Hopkins l." Who Says He Is the Right
full Heir to Engiand's Throne.

The world has had plenty of claimants
to royal thrones, from Perkin Warbeck to
"Norton II, emperor of North and South
America" Some of them have been tai
ented impostors, but more Of them harm
less lunatics, and as long as the latter
firmly believe their own stories they may,
for all we know, be rs happy as the real
monarchs. Morton IIn was long II noted
figure in San Francisco. Once fairly
successful merchant, he gradually became
possessed of the notion that he was en-
titled to royal power; the merchants good
humoredly consented to pay the small
tax he imposed on each of them
they supported their afflicted brother in
great comfort, and for many years he
walked the streets Of San Francisco in
the stage costume Of royalty, attended by
two immense mastffs. Every one has
read the sad story Of the two little
princes, sons OF Edward w, murdered in
the tower by order of their cruel uncle,
Richard III; how many years afterward

was entitled to take precedence OF acting
Queen Victoria. And now we have in
New York two claimants to the British
throne-Mrs. Kent or Sophia Adelaide,
and king Hopkins l." His common,
every day name is Clarence George Hop
kins, and hers is Caroline Louise Kent.
She is a lady of leisure, and he is an indus
trious type sticker.
He claims to he son OF William ~,
predecessor OF Victoria, which is easy
enough to believe, but he also claims that
his mother was lawfully married to that
king, which is quite II different affair.
When Monmouth, son of Charles III and
Lucy Walters, raised the standard of re-
bellion against James III in 1859 the
ignorant people Of the west Of England
were deluded with n story about the mar
riage contract having been concealed in q
strong box, not to be opened till the death
of King Charles, and Of hostile parties
having concealed the box. The principal
point of interest, however, to king Hop

ported. Our king" may rest assured,
however, Of being safe as long as he stays

A CABBAGE TRENCH.

In the cut is given n perspective view OF
a trench OF cabbage. A cross section Of
this trench is also shown, giving good
idea OF the manner in which the cabbage
Is covered. A trench two feet wide and
six inches deep is made in self-drained
soil. In this rye or wheat straw is scat
tered three inches in depth, and on this
the cabbages are placed, top downward,
two or three inches apart until the trench
is full, when straw is scattered around
the head and part of the stem. This
done, cover with earth from four to eight
inches in depth, according to the expos
ure. The boards ut the sides prevent the
rain from washing away the dirt.
When it is desired that the heads make
further growth the roots may be placed in
the soil and the plants right side up.

Things Farmers Tell One Another.

Mr.. f. Williams, of Montclair, N. j.,
says that the Triumph gooseberry, as
grown by him, has exceeded any other
variety in size, productiveness and free
dom from disease.

names as the four earliest and safest kinds
of wrinkled peas McLean's Advancer,
Clipper, American Wonder and Champion
of England. He considers Ma Il S. the
best early smooth pea.
President Phillips, Of the West Michi-
gan Horticultural society, regards un.
leached ashes az the best fertilizer known
for vineyards.
Eminent veterinarians testify that de-
hornng cattle, when properly performed,
causes little pain.

large experience, says Of the Franconia

field; the live crows seeing their dead
companions, seek elsewhere their food and
leave the corn so uniquely guarded se'

The value of hen manure from single
bird for one year is estimated at fifteen
cents by well known poultry grower.
Farmers generally have come to the
conclusion that it is not safe TO trust the

A New Jerseyman suggests, in addition
to the usual precautions observed in stor-
ing garden seeds, that a piece Of camphor
gum be put in each bag containing seed,
and that the seed be busted with insect

SERGT. JASPER MoNtMENi'
the siege Of Savannah while rcscuing the
flag that had been planted on the
ramparts Though he died In the middle
period of the revolution no hero who lived
il through had career more fascinating.
1t reads like the romance OF brave
knight of the days Of chivalry. When
the British fleet attacked Fort Moultrie
and the American flagstaff was shot
down he leaped out into the ditch and
raised it again in the midst OF n
storm of shot and shell. His next ex-
plot was to attack with a single COM
panion a British guard Of ten soldiers
who were conveying some Americans
to prison. When the guard halted at
spring, the two lads-they were but just
OF age-darted from the bushes upon the
two soldiers left in charge Of the stacked
arms, disabled them, and with their guns
shot the first two who came up from the
spring. With no time to load they
dubbed their guns and killed the next
two, then released the prisoners before the
rest of the guard could rally. Not only
did they rescue the prisoners, but marched
the British guard into the American
camp. For his exploits he was offered an
officers commission, but declined 1t on
the plea that he could not read! A Mrs.
Elliott, on behalf of the ladies Of Charles
ton, presented him with beautiful set OF
colors, which he preserved with great
pride. Though MORALLY wounded in the
rash assault upon Savannah under Count
D'Estaing, he reached the American camp
and died in the act Of eXhorting his COM
panions to patriotic service.
The statue represents him as he seized
the flag from the British ramparts, where
it had been planted 1t is the production
Of Mr.. Alexander Doyle, Of New York;
the figure is of bronze ten feet high, and
rests upon a pedestal twenty feet high.
Few cities in this country so richly repay
the tourist for visit as Savannah. The
beauty of its broad streets and semi-trop-
ical parks, its noble monuments to Pu-
laski, Gordon and Others its historic as
sociations, its landmarks Of the revolution
and local records and buildings connected
with the establishment OF Methodism in
America, all combine to delight and in
struct. The monument to Jasper but
